bond was being rapidly overhauled by Bell- ringer. On entering the straight Surprise had the best of Scandal and was leading by two lengths, while Vagabond and Bellringer were coming up at a lively pace. Surprise, however, had gained a big advantage and he won easily. The race between Scandal and Vagabond for second position was very exciting, the latter getting the better of his opponent by only a neck. Bellringer was fourth. Time-2 mins.

The starter had to arrange the eighteen ponies in a somewhat mixed manner, and a good start could not be expected under the circum. stances. Howlet was the first to show the way, the nearest to him being Sinbad. On passing the stand, however, Sinbad was leading by three lengths, the others following in a pro- cession. At the bridge Armistice came to the front but he was quickly overhauled by Straightforward. who spurted into first position, but lost it immediately afterwards, as Armistice again came away. Mr. Arnold's pony, however, rallied and raced along in splendid style and soon took the lead once more, and at the rock he had obtained a substantial advantage from Sinbad, while Armistice dropped into the rear. Sinbad and Straightforward now had the race to them- Zelves, and the latter succeeded in passing the judge's eye half a length in front of Sinbad. Bantam was a long way behind, third. Time—
mins. 47 secs.

At the rock Burnside came ahead of them all, M.D. and Chance being dangerously at hand, the former on the inside. and the latter on the outside. while Flaneur was a long way in the rear ou reaching the straight. Å little over a furlong from home Burnside took a decided lead, Chance and Albany being the nearest pair. and Mr. Derick Hunter's pony passed the post a length in front of Chance and Albany, who seemed like running a dead heat for second position. However, General Black's pouy just managed to get in front, Backsheesh being fourth. Time 2 mins. 21 Becs.

(Lieut. Col. the O'Gorman) 0 Mr. Grote got the ponies away to a good start, Kindar aud The Laird showing the way. At the plantation Black Velvet came up well and at the hill he took first place, Kindar being second, and Morrison third. Black Velvet had the inside position at the foot of the hill, when Planet overtook Morrison and then came abreast of The Laird. However, Planet soon fell back and then Morrison came out in fine style and challenged Black Velvet. Kindar continued to have the lead and won by about a length and a half from The Laird, Morrison being third, and Black Velvet fourth. Time-1 min. 36 1-5 secs. The TAI YEUR FONG CUP;

the lead, followed closely by Times, while Tele- graph dropped slighty back. At the hill Mr. Peel's pony had gained a lead of three lengths, and the order was rather straggling. At the village the ponies got closer together, and Tele- graph again came into second place, and Sepoy was next in order. The riders of both Telegraph. and Sepoy used their whips, but Heatherbell could not be caught, and he won by about two lengths. Telegraph was about a neck ahead of Sepoy. Time-3 mins. 31 secs.

Soon after the start Cobweb got the lead, but he did not retain it long, as Vicar over- hauled him, and Pineapple became third, the re mainder being some distancy behind. At the village, however, the ponies closed together and Dunblane now became third with Scandal very near him. At the bridge Dunblane went second, while Pineapple was fourth and Scandal fifth. At the hill Pineapple overtook Dunblane, and the Vicar now appeared to be quite out of the race. Scandal got the better of Dunblane at the village, and entered the straight ahead of Pine- apple, but Surprise now came along with a good sweep, and a very fine race ensued between him and Pineapple, who had again passed Scan- | dal, while Dunblane came out with a particularly good spurt. The finish was an exceedingly good one, Surprise getting home only about a head in front, Dunblane being third, about two lengths behind Pineapple. Time-3 mins. 27 secs.
